EVE Example code for an Arduino

Written for a Matrix Orbital EVE3 or EVE4 running on an Arduino UNO. The demo will work on EVE2 displays with the exception of touch.

This code will illustrate:

• EVE initilization
• Set colour
• Draw blue dot
• Write text
• Displaying an image
• Make a button
• Sound demo

---

Instructions:

The example is configured for a 4.3" display, to change the display used edit:

Eve2_81x.h --> // Panel specific setup parameters

The settings work for EVE3 and EVE4 displays.

1. Download the zip file
2. Rename the directory from EVE-School-master to EVE-School
3. Copy the 4 files located in 'Images for SD card' to the root of a SD Card
4. Put the SD Card into the EVE2-Scoodo Sheild, connect the Shield to the UNO
5. Connect the FFC cable to the Shield and EVE display, BLUE UP on the FFC
6. Plugin the USB to the Arduino UNO and Power to the barrel jack
7. Load the INO file, and upload the program to the Arduino

This code when executed will display FTDI text and a red circle.
